Then, a group of lung cancer researchers discovered the EGFR biomarker, which opened the door for targeted therapies that were easier to take, more effective, and led to better patient outcomes than anything used before. Take this opportunity to hear from someone who had a part in discovering the first lung cancer biomarker. Learn more about the EGFR biomarker from Dr. Carbone – important information that every EGFR patient needs to know.
